Trevose

Young Goldfinches feeding on thistles

This young Peregrine gave itself away by constantly calling

A very confiding Turnstone allowed a very close approach

Bales at Trevose
A few recentish photos of a visit to Trevose Head on the North Cornwall Coast, a beautiful place & always something to find.

Wheatear
Another day over at Davidstow airfield at the weekend to see what I could find & try to get some better shots of 'my' Buff Breasted Sandpiper and hopefully Curlew Sandpiper, even though I arrived fairly early there were already photographers onto the Buff Breast,so decided to drive around to see if I could find anything else, the usual Dunlin & Ringed Plover ( which I now check out a bit more after last years Semi Palmated Plover saga-I did,nt see it) and lots of Pipits & Pied  Wagtails., one or two White Wagtails and a couple of lingering Wheatear-the usual fare. Later on I eventually got the Buff Breasted Sandpiper & two Curlew Sandpipers together all to myself in reasonable light showing down to just a few feet-too close at times and managed some nice shots.
